Last night the PS3 thread on OS went overbd, was locked and the reopened. Nobody is happy anymore with these sports games then they should quit playing. I know I have been displeased this year w/ sports games being released needing multiple patches which sux. It is not the end of the world as some make it.
The thing is, Madden would've been fine without a patch. People forget how many problems old sports games had. The all mighty 2k5 had the worse trade logic of any football game. Ever. It might the worst of any sports game. If Madden had the same problem, people would be livid. Madden 04 and 05 (many people now consider those "great" football games) had a ton of exploitable flaws. You could not play defense on Madden 03 or 04. Every game was a shootout. I think it was MVP Baseball 2004 where it was insanely difficult to hit for power with a left handed hitter. They forget all this and think that Madden is so bad because it needed a patch.

The things the patch fixed were minor. Some stat tuning. Better flats coverage (and it wasn't unplayable before). Some aesthetic things. Fairly minor things, in my opinion. This is a very good football game as is. Perfect, no, but very good. And I'll continue to enjoy. Another guy posted stats from three seasons. 3 guys ran for 2000, only one of them passed 2100. It's not that big of a deal. Most of the stats I've seen are only a little high. The stats overall are much better now.
I had no real issues with Madden either.

NFL 2k football played really well. 2k8 played even a bit better.
The problem I had with NFL 2k football is that all their Franchise stuff was busted to holy hell. Adding to your list, Having QBs punt return, horrible trade logic, etc.

Madden has always had tight franchise modes. At least stat bugs are really the main issue and not "everything else with it."

From what i'm seeing, I have no problem with the stats from the running game that alot of the posters at OS are bitchin' about. The patch thread over there has turned into a mess, I'm staying away from that one.
Back to gameplay post patch....I'm still using Myskill with a custom hybrid AI slider set I made. The game is playing out better but not by leaps and bounds. The running game seems more realistic IMO/The passing game is more unpredictable, but in a good way. I'm seeing long 7 minute drives and some short 2 minute type drills from the AI and myself. This is as close as you are going to get dialed in for sim football with Madden.
I had a cool moment where one of my lineman deflected a pass, the ball went in a crazy direction right into the hands of a db and I ran it in for a td , but just barely. I had the AI's qb on my trail all the way and thought I wouldn't make it,but did. I was all happy and celebrating until the late clipping call rung me up. I like that believe it or not. Made the game feel real.

It's really REALLY out of control in that Patch thread.

And at Nature Boy's urging I went and looked at the EA Sports Forums for Madden. YIKES! :eek:
It's making OS's bitchers look like they're being kind.

I had to peek at the thread at OS one more time. Calling it a warzone would be mild. I think some people would find flaws in the Mona Lisa's smile. Oh well, we don't have to partake in that, I hope they have a Merry Xmas :headbang:
